FAQPage Schema
How do I identify technical debt in a codebase automatically?

You can identify technical debt automatically by running fast pattern scans for code smells across production and test code. This skill targets the turbo/ directory to generate structured findings and traceable tracking items for engineers.

How do I create GitHub issues from static analysis findings?

You can create GitHub issues from static analysis findings by running a research scan and then using the issue command. This converts the technical debt findings into traceable tracking items to drive codebase remediation.

What is the best way to track codebase refactoring tasks?

Tracking codebase refactoring tasks effectively requires generating traceable tracking items from quality issue scans. This skill enables engineers to create issues directly from research results to plan and prioritize refactors.

Does this technical debt scanner work with test code or only production code?

This technical debt scanner works with both test code and production code. It targets code health across the turbo/ directory and related directories, scanning for quality issues throughout the entire codebase.

How do I prioritize technical debt for refactoring?

To prioritize technical debt for refactoring, scan your codebase to generate structured findings and use the use-case driven guidance provided. This helps engineers plan remediation by turning quality issues into trackable items.
